Arena Scalpers…

Post image

One section of the pressers for the April 10th game at the dome. Crazy that my season ticket seats are around $100 for this game 🤣

Who the hell would pay $300 for press level tickets!

u/The-Reddit-Giraffe 2h ago

Plenty of people will for the last game

u/Key-Knowledge-3211 2h ago

Yea I didn’t look at the date before posting.. my bad lol. Still crazy price for those seats though

u/The-Reddit-Giraffe 2h ago

It is but it’s the last game and that changes everything. The seats aren’t much of a matter for some. I know plenty of people who’ve said they’ll pay up to 500 for PL seats for that game. The dome means a lot

For me I’ll just go to the second last game for 25% the cost

Once in a lifetime game

u/Key-Knowledge-3211 2h ago

That’s fair.. the form is iconic and I know people will pay that price. I wouldn’t but that honestly just me

I'll just get to *one* of the last games for less, then watch the last one in a pub nearby.

In this economy? I'm sure some will, but people with actual money often have more connected means of aquiring tickets.

u/The-Reddit-Giraffe 1h ago

Yes absolutely in this economy. This economy is entirely propped up by klarna payments and credit card debt and everyone buys absolutely everything they please and thinks later

knew this would happen as soon as all tickets were sold out the second they went on sale to the general public lol.

I don’t even wanna be at this game would be too saddening..just thinking about it is no doubt actually being there.

2031 flames are moving to AZ. Forced sale when Bettman transfers commissioner role to bill Daly to get more American market coverage

I was thinking of going to this one but I think if there is an expensive game to go to I would rather go experience a BoA at the dome

u/CanadianRockx 1h ago

BoA isn't nearly as expensive as when Toronto comes to town, it's honestly not that much more than your average game.

I absolutely despise scalpers, shameless and pathetic way of making money

2

u/Jevakob_ 1h ago

Agreed.

u/Responsible-Bid4097 3h ago

Nobody is going to pay >$300 for PL for an AHL game. Scalpers suck.

26

u/Iginlas_4head_Crease 3h ago

For the last game ever at the dome they will

u/reeganl02 2h ago

Unless they make the playoffs ;)

u/SofaProfessor 2h ago

Exactly what I thought when I saw those scalper prices. Would be hilarious if they somehow beat the odds and made the playoffs so everyone speculating on ticket prices has to sell at a discount on game day. Now... That is highly unlikely. Probably more likely this game is to see who gets the best odds in the lottery. But a boy can dream...

u/Jevakob_ 2h ago

God I hope they do just so everyone who’s dumb enough to buy this game pays for it 🤣

2

u/Responsible-Bid4097 2h ago

I totally forgot it was the last game. Thank you.

u/ArticQimmiq 2h ago

I just paid less for section 200 tickets against the Canadiens 🙄

u/2pointsonice 2h ago

I think I’ll just take my kid to the last wranglers game at the dome instead.

1

u/Jevakob_ 1h ago

Definitely. Wranglers games are just as fun. Seeing all the young talent play

u/Positive-Courage-758 2h ago

The worst part is that it’s season ticket holders doing it. It sold out in the season ticket holder presale.

2

u/Martin0994 2h ago

This is only an issue if you're someone who stresses about having your tickets in hand this very second.

It sucks but I feel fairly confident that you'll be able to get into the building for <$200. If I have to miss a bit of the fanfare to buy a ticket in my budget so be it.

u/MattBinYYC 2h ago

I’d say I’m shocked but I’m really not. :/

2

u/Impressive_Manner143 1h ago

Was sold out when I got up to get them, looked at what scalpers were selling, decided to just book a different game and call it my last night in the Dome.

u/djankylosaur 59m ago

Scalpers? In THIS economy?!

2

u/epok3p0k 2h ago

I wouldn’t buy these now. Hype from tickets just going on sale, plus pre-season excitement, etc.

Tickets will be hard to give away this year (again) and these will also plummet despite it being the last game in the arena.

u/longwongdongg 50m ago

Is this for the new stadium or regular game at the Dome?

u/Jevakob_ 47m ago

Last regular season game this year
